UEFA Euro 2020 Round of 16 ** spoilers ** [26th - 29th June 2021]

Wow. Grealish on the bench? He must have upset Southgate in the last match or something by pressing forwards. Foden and Mount on the bench too. Interesting...

I hope it is a complete cluster bomb and we get hammered and Gareth gets the sack. 5 at the back is just a losers mentality. Germany only playing like that because they don't have the defenders or players anymore!
 
People are saying we've got the better 11, have we really? Not so sure.

There's masses of quality and experience in that German team. Here's hoping Werner will have his usual shooting boots on...
 
Key on Tuesday will be negating the threat of Gosens, I reckon Walker to get the nod at RB but I wonder if Southgate will have an industrious wideman in front of him who will track back a bit. You could maybe make a case for playing Saka on the right for this reason, has good experience as fullback/wingback so would offer some protection.

Obviously against a team with wingbacks you can make a counter argument that you want to pin them back, concentrate more on keeping them running towards their goal than yours. Could be risky approach though.

Fair play, England pretending to be 3-4-3 but actually we just want both Trippier AND Walker to counter Gosens.

Southgates master plan of bringing 17 RBs comes to fruition \o/
